Paul Atreides wants to save money to meet three objectives. First, he would like to be able to retire 20 years from now with retirement income of $15,000 per month for 20 years, with the first payment received 20 years and 1 month from now. Second, he would like to purchase a cabin in Rivendell in 10 years at an estimated cost of $100,000. Third, after he passes on at the end of the 20 years of withdrawals, he would like to leave an inheritance of $100,000 to Chani, his girlfriend. He can afford to save $3,000 per month for the next 10 years. If he can earn an 10 percent EAR before he retires and an 9 percent EAR after he retires, how much will he have to save each month in years 11 through 20?
